Hi,
I have been dealing with a few viruses in the past day, and this one is really eluding me. Every few minutes a fake Windows Security Alert, made to look like Windows Firewall, gives me a warning about a Trojan, and tries to link me to a website to buy a spyware remover product.

EDIT: I had to split my logfile between two posts. See the first reply for the rest of my logfile...
Thanks for your help in advance!
